Synthesis and Degradation of Proteins in Pigs

Growth of animals is the complex result of competition between anabolic and catabolic process, which implies constant changes and remodeling through synthesis of new proteins and breakdown of existing proteins (Jobgen et al. 2006; Tan et al.,2009). Togeth

Preface

We, as the three editors, are pleased to edit this book entitled “Nutritional and Physiological Functions of Amino Acids in Pigs,” which provides a comprehensive overview of the nutritional and physiological functions of amino acids in swine during growth and development. The first two parts of the book are related to the rapid development of the gastrointestinal tract and digestive glands in piglets and to the related terminal digestion of peptides by the enterocytes before amino acid absorption and metabolism by these cells. In the second part of the book, a chapte
